    I saw a job listing the other day for an “AI Advocate” (I don’t remember the specific job title). Basically the job was to promote the use of AI products to other companies. It got me thinking that their AI replacements for humans must not be very good if they need a human to promote them, otherwise the AI would be able to successfully sell itself.

      This could be said of any other job though. “I guess AI isn’t that good, because it can’t replace ______.” Why would you assume that AI advocate should be especially easy for AI?

        AI chats are known for their overconfident persuasiveness, especially when incorrect. IIRC the job was pretty much just yapping that exact type of rhetoric.

          In general, salespeople are still employed, as far as I know. AI hasn’t been able to replace them. Perhaps AI is too gullible to the client.
